Democracy; representative or direct

IMO you are way off. Biden has established the best economy in 50 years. What you seem to miss is that inflation is a result of a booming economy.
Capitalist businesses take advantage of the public wealth to raise profits.

Take “insulin” . It costs a couple of dollars to manufacturers., but was selling at 300 dollars for a 30 day supply. Biden brought that price down to 35 dollars per month.
This move alone has saved the lives of many diabetics. Diabetes is a fatal disease unless strictly controlled. Half doses of insulin to save 150 dollars will get you dead.

Senior citizens and other Medicare enrollees can now get a break on the cost of their insulin.
They won’t pay more than $35 a month for each insulin prescription that’s covered by their Medicare Part D plan. And they won’t be subject to a deductible for insulin.

It’s one of several drug-related provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act that are kicking in this year. The law, which Congress passed last summer, aims to make it easier for Americans, particularly the elderly, to afford their medications. The other measures taking effect in 2023 include allowing seniors to get more vaccines at no charge and penalizing drugmakers that raise prices higher than inflation.

Though insulin was discovered more than a century ago and is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, its price has soared in recent years. This has contributed to about 1.3 million Americans with diabetes – or 1 in 6 insulin users – rationing their insulin in the past year, according to research published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine in October. Skipping the medication can lead to death.

The Biden administration proposed the strictest (bipartisan) immigration law ever!
It was the Republicans extremists that killed it on Trump’s orders! The irony is almost unbelievable.
